Introducing end-to-end data lineage (preview) visualization in Amazon DataZone

This article introduces the new data lineage visualization feature (in preview) in Amazon DataZone, a data management service that catalogs and governs data across an organization. The data lineage feature provides an end-to-end view of data movement and transformations over time.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Getting started with data lineage in Amazon DataZone by hydrating lineage information programmatically via APIs or by sending OpenLineage compatible events
• Interactive visualization of data lineage for different personas:
  • Marketing analysts can confirm the origin of data assets
  • Data engineers can understand the impact of changes on dependent objects and investigate root causes of data issues
  • Administrators can collect details on data sources, transformations, and ensure sensitive data is handled properly
• Availability of the data lineage feature in preview in all regions where Amazon DataZone is generally available, with costs based on storage and API usage
